St aad Publicist Declare League Net Dead Hamilton Holt, who haa recently returned from Europe, where he made a flrat-hand atudy of conditioni there, addraaaed the faculty and students of the college and citisens of Berea last evening in the College ChapeL Mr. nolt while in Europe aat aa an observer at the Reunions of the League of Nationa Areembty at Go- nova, 8witierland. He gavo a vivid picture of the birth of the League in 1 918, and of the impression that the document made upon the minds of European statesmen present at the Urn H was first read by Wood row Wilson to the delegation. Ho re counted, in glowing terma, some of the accomplishments of the League. The League, he said, had not at tempted the solution of any major in , tarnation issues, but assumed such obligationa as it could successfully handle and that it is constantly growing in favor thruout the world. ,A few accomplishments of the League haa been the establishment of a ! health eommiulon whkh has made marvelous strides In cleaning up the tench of the "out of the way" placea. The League commission to abolish slavery haa done much to prevent slaves from being carried across .the borders of the backward countries and haa played a great part in rescu ing women from the Turkish harems The League fettled the dispute be tween Finland and Norway over the Ogney Islands. Mr. Holt was pres ant when Persia appealed its case against Russia to the League of Na tions, which saved her from Russian aggression, a thing which before hsJ been unheard of and which no power but the League of Nations waa able or willinjr to prevent He also waa North Dakota R.

Whenever before in the his tory of the world haa a nation been willing to lay it sovereignty before an international body with the hopej of receiving jutice! Mr. Holt said that he went to Europe 100 percent in favor of the League. Be came back 200 percent convinced that the , league of Nationa Is the only sound step that haa been made in the di-1 rection of the accomplishing world ( peace. Ho said that he talked with . a Bulgarian statesman, who aaid that the only Justi-e Bulgaria had receiv- ed had been thru the League of Na- tions. Following the war Albania appealed Ita case to the League of j Nationa. The Assembly considered Albania's appeal, established her in to a nation, and sent a committee to her to aid in establishing the neces sary machinery for government Al bania ia now a working government It haa established hospitals of Its own, normal schools, and other insti tutions in keeping with the civiliie4 countries. Mr. Holt said that he doea not fear revolution in Europe, but he fears ditsolution. Europe, he saysis dis solving, the intellectual life U disin tegrating. The artista and educators and those who once constituted the mind of Europe have resorted to any sort of menial labor by which they may earn bread. The queation now is, not what I hall we wear, but where shall we get the next meal. He heard Nansen, the great Norwegian explorer, aay that the tima would coaie, unless Europe was saved from ita downward trend, when salted human flesh would be sold on the markets. Mr. Holt says that unless the mor al laws of tha world have exception the United States must suffer for ita indifferent attitude towards suffering Europe. He said tha only thin that will aave us along with the rest of the world is to quit playing poll tics and to commence acting like men. Hoping. If I survive la alnaty-thrse. Of alnaty-aavaa.

Thnrsdav. was entrance day, at which time the Tab- emacle was made a veritable scene of cookery, canned goods, farm prod ucts, needlework, and school children and Junior Agricultural Club dis plays. The second day was Junior Club and School Day. Moat of the morn ing was taken up in the collage ath letic field with contesta between the various school. In tha school and community contests Silver Creek, with Stanley Powell as teacher, took the fl-st place; Wallaceton, where Mrs. Bern ice Kindred teaches, came in a close second. Mrs. Kindred de serves unusual credit for the fine showing her school made on this dav. She was sick for three weeks before the fair and waa not able to begin any preparation until four days be fore the fair opened. Six Junior At? ricultural Clubs participated in the ye'l and singing con teat Wallaceton Club took the fl-st place with yells, and Whites Station second. Silver Creek Junior Club took first place in the singirg contert; Whites Station came in second again. There were one hundred and fifty club members present and t is interesting to nota that every rn-sl school participating in the contest of this School and Club Day of the Fair had a Junior Agri cultural Cub. It speaks well also for the influence of the Junior Clnb on the life of the school to note that a'l the schoMs participating in tha Rockcastle Fa'r had Junior Club. Some of the ohserve-s recognized that the yells and songs introduced by the vanou schools were those that had first been practiced by members of the Junior Clubs. Another Interesting feature of the second dav's events was the Old Man's Race, in which there were 5 entries. J. C. Bowman, prircipal of the Berea n-adod school, took first place and A. H. Kidd. of the Silver Creek commu nity, took second place. Both the Ijidy Teachers race and the Men Teache-s' Race attracted much atten tion. There were several entries in bo'h of tbee races. Miss Hope Hih bard, of Kingston school, took first n'aco in the Lady Teachera race and Miss Schtilts, rf Silver Creek school, took second place. Stanley Powell, of the Silver C-eek school, took first nlsoe in the Men Teachers' Race, and Mr. Bowman, or Kingston, took sec ond n'ace. The chief feature of tha .1 second day's events was the parade,1 thru town, of all the schools and com I munitrs sttending the fair. Hiern were mo'e than 700 in the parade, representing he Berea graded school, Wa'lareton achnol and community, Whites Station, Kingston, Silver Creek, Todd, and Hickory Plains.

Mr. Brown from Lancaster was judge of the poultry and Mrs. R. C. Coomer of Speedwell carried off the largest number of bluo ribbons. The crownini; event of the third day and of the whole fair was the farm drama, "Between Two Lives," which was presented in the Tabernacle-Saturday night by members of the Home Science and Agricultural Depart ments of the Vocational School for the benefit of the School and Agrfrnl tural Fair. In spite of the fact that this play had been given twice before in Berea, there waa a large attend ance, and the play made a great im pression on the audience. The mem bers of the Vocational Department and others who helped to make this play a success deserve much thanks and credit Mr. Spence, the county agent, and his assistant, Mr. Carrithers, both worked incessantly for weeks to make, mis acnooi ana Agricultural rair a success, and Berea and the surround ing communities cannot thank them to much.

A Msthisson, specialist on Scan dinavian Folk Lore Schools, ad' dreaaea College atodeata and fac ulty. Reviews stability of Denmark as result of establishment of adult schools in that country fifty years go. S. A. Mathiason, who haa made a study of Folk Lore Schools in the Scandinavian countries and who U now on a tour through the South land with a view of interesting the Southern people in the establishment of similar schools, brought a mes sage to the students and faculty In the College chapel Tuesday morning. Mr. Mathiason reviewed briefly the growth of these schools in Denmark and the influence that they have had in that country during the last fifty years in establishing a spiritual life through education. Fifty years ago when Germany had taken Denmark's best territory she was left facing poverty and national disintegration. At that time a great leader and educator, Gundvig, ap peared on the scene advocating edu cation of adults through community schools established in reach of all. Germany held that every adult no matter what the disadvantages of his past life, ought to have a chance to become acquainted with art htera ture. and other thine-s. which un to that tima onlv be4in out in collegw. a number of col- leReg wcre established for this purpose out in the country districts of Denmark where folk dances were taught, where the people sang to gether, and played games. In these schools there was no definite promise of financial returns, no diploma was looked for. The school Itself was its own reward. Through these schools the whole youth of Denmark was brought to s realization that they had place in the world and were thui equipped to make a contribution to the community and national life of the country Denmark, a little country, which before these rchoola were established was full of disesse and pove-ty, and on the verge of national decay is now one of the richest countriea ac cording to its site in the world There is practically no poverty in Denmark and comparatively little sickness. Mr. Mathiason remained in Berea for several hours to give the students and members of the faculty, who sro interested in such a program for America, opportunity to interview him.

Robertson, Profeseor History and Political Science Berea College The mariago of the ex-emperor of Germany to Princess Ilermine Reuss occurred on Sunday. The former court preacher, Rev. Vogel, per formed the ceremony in the castle of Dorne, in Holland. There were two services one civil and the other, re ligious. The brother and some of the sons of the former emperor were present. The bride comes from an old and highly esteemed family ana has been married before. The people of Germany are not inclined to took upon the manage with favor as the former empress was a great favorite. The Dutch residents of the little town felt sggrieved because the event occurred on Sunday and also be cause it was carried out with such privacy. William has resumed his favorite walk3 again in the gardens about his castle, but he does not go alone any more. A recent change in the ministry in Italy is raising some questions. Benito Mussolini forcM the resigna tion of the cabinet in power by show of military force and was ssked by the king to form a cabinet He is leader of the extreme nationalists or "faeisti," mado up largely of soldiers of the recent war who combined to fight socialism. It is estimated that there are 800,000 in the movement It is an aggressive force and causes some snxiety. The premier before accepting office was in conference with the poet D'Annunxio, who sought to maintain Italy's control over the seaport of Flume on the East coast of the Adriatic Sea.- It ia not to be wondered at that Jugo-Slavia and Al bania are concerned with this change of ministry, and a revolution is said to be taking place in Albania. There are some reasons to believe that President Harding is turning toward a broader policy in regard t world affairs. He now advocates the appointment f aa American en the Reparations Commission and favors entering in full standing the Inter national court Both of these are creations of the League of Nations and the U. S. would be on her way toward taking a place in that body should the President's wishes be car ried out. At any rate some of his associates are becoming alarmed over the situation. Many of those who voted for Mr. Harding would see in it however, only a fulfillment of his promires, as a good mahy voted the Republican ticket thinking that it was the best way to get into the League of Nations. Sixty of the best men of the party subscribed to that The Turkish Nationalist are in control of Constantinople and have requested the Allies to withdrsw their armies from the city. There is evi dence also of a revolution in the In ternal government of Turkey. Kern al Pasha is referred to as President and a legislative body has been es tablished. The Sultan Mohammed seems to be set aside or to fee exer cising little influence. The terms of the armlstico of Mudania are not be ing observed and the Turks are in vading neutral tones. Tha Allies have demanded compliance with the terms of the armistice. The situa tion has aroused a restless spirit in other countries of the Balkan pen insula, and it will require much skill to prevont the outbreak of new wars for the changing of boundary lines established at the close of the war. At the little seaport of Guetaria in northe-n Spain was recently cele brated an event of great importance that occurred four hund-ed years ago, the return of the first man to sail around the world, Juan Sebas tian Elcano. This sailor was the com mander rf one of the five ships to set sail under Magellan in 1521, and the only one to bring a ship back. This was the g-eatest of all the early voy ages and may fittingly be remember ed. Magellan was killed in the Phil ippines by natives, but received the honor of the expedition. Ia the re cent observsncs of the event tha King snd Queen of Spsin took part, and representatives of the nsvies of all the leading nations of the world were present ti participate. frog res.
